Second, THE NAMES. I believe homeboy may like some sci-fi (me too!), since the 10-piece release has product names like outer Limits, Starscape as well as Parallel Universe. The NEONEUTRAL style combines the countervailing ideas of vibrant, electric neon as well as neutral nudes, so it’s practically like eating a multilayered cake in a single bite (yes, my stomach is currently rumbling).

The Christopher Kane for NARS summertime 2015 Collection: Eyes

Sparkling from a galaxy far, far away, these Eyeshadows bring the glittery noise. shine is certainly up in this mix.

In these pics, I’m using both of the Parallel world Duo Eyeshadows as liners, as well as the outer Limits single Eyeshadow on my lids, as well as say thanks to goodness I did my eyes first, since there was shine around the place. as well as there’s still shine around the place. There’s still shine in one of my eyebrows, in fact. It’s still there now.

So…fallout is an problem for these eye products, however here’s the thing: the shine is freaking beautiful.

I don’t believe these photos do it justice. The Single, outer Limits, is this gorgeous multi-tonal increased gold with pink as well as bronze as well as orange. Really, truly very cool, as well as I like the Duo, too.

Yes, you most likely will have to contend with glittery fallout, however there are some things you can do to reduce the glittery pain.

Here’s likewise a quick video summary of the collection…

It’s like showing as much as play in a basketball game. If you show up in high heels as well as a miniskirt, you’re not gonna be able to play correctly. Well, right here you have to understand that you’re going to be handling fallout, so utilize something like a flat eyeshadow clean to press as well as apply the shadows (wetting the clean head will likewise help), or your fingers to press as well as apply, since if you utilize a fluffy domed clean to swirl, swirl, swirl, the glitter’s just gonna get around the place.

The Christopher Kane for NARS summertime 2015 Collection: Cheeks

First, the two powder blushes in Starscape as well as silent Nude.

OK, silent Nude? very first of all, that name makes me believe of strange filthy movies.

The color is a matte beige, as well as it doesn’t truly show up on my skin. I tried using it as a bronzer, as well as it just… It’s most likely much better fit to interstellar lasses with lighter skin. I don’t see a great deal of orange in it, of what it’s worth.

Starscape Blush, I love, however select your brushes carefully if you’re going to wear this extremely pigmented neon pink; otherwise, you might look like a frightening horror film clown. I utilized a duo fibre clean packed with extremely bit product for it — just a nanogram.

There are likewise two sheer Multiples in the collection, which you can wear on your eyes, cheeks and/or lips (I mainly utilize them as cheek colors). Both are sheer purplish violets, as well as I really like that they’re sheer. I believe their sheerness is a great thing in this case, since it makes them simpler to utilize as blush.

I utilize the darker shade on the apples of my cheeks as well as the lighter violet as a highlighter, as well as again, I’m pleased they’re sheer. I believe it makes them much more useful as well as wearable.

Of the three cheek products, though, Starscape blush is still the one I’m sure I’ll wear most, even though it virtually pulsates with pigment.

The four Lip Glosses in the collection have a awesome cosmic superpower. Each one dries down as well as fades to a satiny stain. Formula-wise, they’re basic NARS fare — unflavored, unscented as well as non-sticky — however they dry down to stains, which is kinda neat. I likewise don’t feel like they’re drying.

Neon pink Mezmer as well as neon coral Nebulous are quite pigmented, too.
